This is a typical La Nina look actually. Dumps west then moves East or thats the idea. Still a lot to iron out though but Iike things heading into December.

Very true and hopefully we cycle through to better years with more snowfall.

That's our climate though. Usually people outside the mountains just need 1 big snow to make their annual snowfall.

Nothing we don't know especially the past 5 winters. Hopefully things look up starting this winter.

What a weird day with the temps today. Only had a morning time low of 55 then got up to 63 but have dropped down to 49 already and that's our low also so far.

Honestly a transition the first of December would be best climatologically speaking.

GFS and Euro ensembles overnight are showing the goods in the long range. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Great stuff from Allan Huffman. Today's 12z op ECMWF and EPS mean both show the 10mb U wind turning negative, meaning a change to an easterly wind direction over the polar regions and an #SSWE with 41 of 50 EPS members (82%) showing this reversal with 11/25 the day with the most negative members. Sudden Stratospheric Warming Events, can weaken the tropospheric polar vortex, allowing for increased high latitude blocking (-AO) and the enhanced risk for arctic air discharge into the mid-latitudes (North America, Europe, East Asia). A late November SSWE is relatively rare, and COULD help favor a cold start to meteorological winter(December). The last November SSWE was in 1968. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

A great sign moving forward right around Thanksgiving which could usher in cold air along the East. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Wow! Thanks for the info Don.

Got down to 16 this morning with a storm total of 4.75 inches of snow. The back roads are a freaking mess.

Just went out and measured. I've got 4.5 inches of snow and it's windy with a temp of 17 degrees. Freaking amazing start to the season.
